I'm looking for a good technical French-English math dictionary (preferably online). I've found a number, but most them are pretty non-technical. The word I'm looking for most immediately is "sheaf," if anyone knows the translation, but it'd be nice to have a more general resource in any case. Any suggestions?

Merci, micro! Et je déduis que 'noyau' veut dire 'kernel;' c'est vrai?

I understand the importance of having accurate and reliable resources when it comes to technical terminology. I would recommend using a reputable online dictionary such as the Oxford Mathematics Dictionary or the Cambridge Dictionary of Mathematics. These resources are known for their technical accuracy and comprehensive coverage of mathematical terms. Additionally, you can also consult with experts in the field or reach out to academic institutions for recommendations on reliable French-English math dictionaries. As for the translation of "sheaf," it is commonly translated as "faisceau" in French. However, it is always best to double-check with multiple sources to ensure the accuracy of the translation.
